As Tony Blair’s son, Euan, sits in his Coventry office dreaming of his impending wedding day, Ukip is sending him best wishes for a different consummation.

The party is ready to pop its cork if Blair junior is selected by Labour to fight Coventry North-west or east in the 2015 General Election.

Ukip reasons that if it does, the Socialist Party’s Dave Nellist will stand against him, thereby splitting the vote in traditional rock-solid Labour seats and leaving the door open for Ukip.

“I have been told directly from Labour activists that Euan Blair will appear somewhere in Coventry, and I believe he will,” said Coventry Ukip chairman Mark Taylor, who admits his party is plotting a strategy for that eventuality.

Ukip’s Cov candidates won’t include recent convert and former radio shock-jock Jon Gaunt who’s set his sights on becoming a Euro MP and is currently undergoing selection tests.

His self-proclaimed mission: “To be elected on day one, destroy the EU on day two and be made redundant on day three.”

Gaunty’s a realist who knows that a split vote in either Coventry North-west or east wouldn’t open the door wide enough for him to squeeze through as MP

Dave Nellist, meantime, tells me he’s made no decision yet about standing at the General Election but objects strongly to candidates “parachuting” in through family connections.

Rumours of a Labour “Blair Titch Project” first emerged after it was revealed Euan was working at the jobs and skills agency Sarino Russo Access in Coventry’s Centre Point.

An unlikely career move after merchant bankers Morgan Stanley, but handily placed to get to know the turf if he was pitching to become local MP.

Red Button called his office to offer best wishes to 29-year-old Blair for his wedding to Suzanne Ashman, on September 14, and maybe wangle a place on the stag night.

As he may not know the city too well and given his track record – escorted home by cops as a teenager when found the worse for wear in Leicester Square – we thought he may need an experienced hand to guide him.
